Next week at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, BMW will unveil the new M8 Concept Gran Coupe which previews the production car which goes on sale next year. In a social media post published earlier today, BMW is giving us a closer look at what to expect next week.

The teaser image shows a four-door coupe in a typical concept form, which implies the lack of conventional door handles, large wheels and an aggressive stance.

The new BMW M8 Gran Coupe will join the M8 Coupe and M8 Convertible as the successors of the fans’ darling 6 Series family. In combination with a powerful powertrain, the BMW M8 Gran Coupe becomes a dream car that combines design, performance and everyday life in a fascinating package.

We can safely assume that under the hood it will feature the 4.4 liter V8 TwinTurbo engine currently used in the F90 M5, which will produce more than 600 horsepower.

It will also make use of the new ZF eight-speed automatic transmission which is likely to help the M8 Gran Coupe spring to 100 km/h from standstill in about 3 seconds.
